* TheAce: He was at the top of all his classes at Hero Academy.
* AccidentalMurder: When he tried to save a hostage from some criminals, he impulsively tried to take away the gun away and ended up shooting the hostage instead, the incident got him arrested for murder (despite it being an accident) and ruined any chance of him being Sternbild's hero.
* DishingOutDirt: His powers allow him to phase through various substances - like concrete, marble, and blacktop - by turning his body and/or the area around him into sand.
* FaceHeelTurn: All the above leads to Edward breaking out of prison to hunt Ivan down and punish him for his part in what happened.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: A justified example, when Lunatic hunts him down, he panics and runs for his life rather than phase out of the area like he first appeared, as the fear for his life probably made him unable to think clearly.
* HeelFaceTurn: Realizes the mistake he's made when even after he tried to drown him in sand, Ivan still declares he's willing to protect Edward with his life. He willingly goes back to prison at the end of the episode and Ivan visits him on a regular basis, having reformed their friendship.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Edward tried to save a hostage, but his struggle with the criminals led to the gun going off and killing her instead.
* NeverMyFaut: Refuses to accept it was his reckless actions that got a civilian killed, placing all of the blame on Ivan instead.

She eventually finds proof that suggests Maverick tampered with Barnaby's memories. After Maverick finds this out he has her captured and murders her, while framing Kotetsu for it.
----
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Maverick]] kills her because [[YouKnowTooMuch she knows too much]].
* ChekhovsGunman: Is introduced as a minor character but eventually proves vital in proving that [[spoiler:some of Barnaby's memories were tampered with]].
* {{Expy}}: Samantha, may or may not be based on [[http://www.madebyotherpeople.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/mrs-doubtfire.jpg Mrs. Doubtfire]] (Robin Williams). The implication is very hilarious if you think about it.

[[folder:Mattia Ingram]]
->'''Voiced by''': Shuhei Sakaguchi (JP)
Barnaby's old childhood friend who appears in Season 2. He is a normal human working at a lab trying to develop a drug that grants NEXT powers.
----
* AccidentalDiscovery: He accidentally created a power-enhancing NEXT drug when he mixed several formulas in an overworked stupor.
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Averted. He thinks that's going to happen with Barnaby but to his surprise he remembers him as soon as he sees the Bubblegum that they used to share as kids.
* FriendlyRivalry: Explicitly lays out his rekindled relationship with Barnaby as this. He wants to surpass him and become an even bigger hero to the world in his own way (through creating life-saving pharmaceuticals rather than punching bad guys), but he's motivated by sincere admiration and respect for his old friend, and would be delighted if they started hanging out again. For his part, Barnaby is flattered and happy to play along. [[spoiler:It all goes horribly wrong when it turns out that his research actually had a far more sinister purpose, but he didn't know that, it wasn't his fault, and Barnaby doesn't hold it against him once the truth comes out.]]
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: He was completely unaware his research was being sponsored by Ouroboros.

'''Power:''' Sand Manipulation
Ivan's best friend from his days at Hero Academy.
----
* TheAce: He was at the top of all his classes at Hero Academy.
* AccidentalMurder: When he tried to save a hostage from some criminals, he impulsively tried to take away the gun away and ended up shooting the hostage instead, the incident got him arrested for murder (despite it being an accident) and ruined any chance of him being Sternbild's hero.
* DishingOutDirt: His powers allow him to phase through various substances - like concrete, marble, and blacktop - by turning his body and/or the area around him into sand.
* FaceHeelTurn: All the above leads to Edward breaking out of prison to hunt Ivan down and punish him for his part in what happened.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: A justified example, when Lunatic hunts him down, he panics and runs for his life rather than phase out of the area like he first appeared, as the fear for his life probably made him unable to think clearly.
* HeelFaceTurn: Realizes the mistake he's made when even after he tried to drown him in sand, Ivan still declares he's willing to protect Edward with his life. He willingly goes back to prison at the end of the episode and Ivan visits him on a regular basis, having reformed their friendship.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Edward tried to save a hostage, but his struggle with the criminals led to the gun going off and killing her instead.
* NeverMyFaut: Refuses to accept it was his reckless actions that got a civilian killed, placing all of the blame on Ivan instead.
* TheResenter: After being convicted for the hostage's murder, Edward begins to blame Ivan for standing on the sidelines and not helping him.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: Fully considers Ivan to be a horrible friend that cost him his hero career. By the end of the episode and in Season 2, the two have rekindled their friendship.
